Eagle adviser to direct NCMA
Members of the Nebraska Collegiate Media Association elected Chadron State College journalism instructor and adviser to The Eagle and csceagle.com Michael D. Kennedy as its new executive director. The election took place Saturday, April 9, at the 2011 NCMA Conference and Golden Leaf Awards at Hastings College.
The executive director is responsible for overseeing the business of the NCMA, which includes scheduling the association’s fall meeting and spring conference.
Kennedy said that in addition to executing his duties, he has several goals for the association, including establishing a consistent identity for the NCMA, such as a logo, developing an efficient means of communication among NCMA members, and revamping the group’s website to make it a more viable means of disseminating information.
In addition, the association re-elected Dr. Michael Marek, Wayne State College, as its competition coordinator. Marek is an associate professor and adviser to 91.9 the CAT, WSC’s radio station. The group also re-elected Andy Newman as its treasurer. Newman is an English instructor and adviser to The Spectator, the student newspaper at Western Nebraska Community College, Scottsbluff.
NCMA Secretary Sharon Brooks, Hastings College, was elected at the association’s fall 2010 meeting. Her term expires this coming fall.
